Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let’s finish the job.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I really should read my own blog.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

This fight is for everything.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Come on, man.

The Spousal Unit is on vacation this week, and there was much smack talked about Accomplishing Projects around the house / yard, but it’s been almost 100 degrees for the last three days and there’s only so much the window air conditioning units can do against the officially ‘oppressive’ humidity. We did get to the garden center today, and by a miracle I actually found annuals to fill out the remaining flower spaces that met both my critical standards and those of Himself… but that means being outside in the damned daytime tomorrow, hauling planters & shifting dirt. If you don’t see any posts with my name, either the heat got me or I’ve been arrested for spousal murder.

    Yay! Don’t get too hot and stay hydrated. Maybe we’ll get to see the results in one of the garden posts?

    I probably missed it but was there an official or unofficial estimate of the people marching on Saturday?

    I welcome our gay rodent overlords.

    Although we and they both know it will be the tardigrades who inherit the Earth.

    @Suzanne: I’ve kind of avoided the game so far, because I’m more into co-op than PvP, but I have a fair few friends that play, and this might be enough to get me to give it a try.

    I’m so happy that Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador won the presidential election
    in Mexico. Not sure how he will tackle corruption and the drug violence but I know
    he won’t allow Trump to humiliate him the way Peña Nieto did.

    @Yutsano:

    This is the real Space Force.

    No substitute will be accepted.

    The MAGAts have gotten tired of screaming “Lock Her Up!”, because even those pea brained morans have finally worked out that it is never going to happen.

    I am totally on board with the Space Force if it means we can draft all the MAGA idiots into it and then fire them off into space. Tell them they get a free gun out of the deal. And also that MS-13 is hiding on the Sun.

    I am confused about Space Force. Obviously, they only approve of it because guns are involved. But who do they expect the Space Force to fight? They know Power Rangers wasn’t real, right?

    @Citizen Alan: Uncivil!! Your comment is why all those bigots voted for a bigot in November 2016. Or so we keep being told by the MSM.

    I gotta vent.

    I decided to take Lady to a music store for a professional setup. On the walk to the train station, I slipped on a piece of fruit that had fallen from a tree onto the street. I fell, tearing my jeans and scraping my knee. When I finally got to the store and took Lady out of the gig bag, the guitar tech and I found a substantial ding that exposed the primer under the finish. I also had to buy a new gig bag, because the old one had suffered a destroyed plastic strap buckle in the fall.

    After the music store, I went to the pet store in the mall to replenish Bianca’s food supply. While searching the shelves for senior-cat food, I slipped on a clipboard that had been left lying on the floor and fell again, as before while carrying Lady in a gig bag. (Fortunately, the new gig bag is a much better one and Lady suffered no more damage.) I decided to take a cab home rather than the train, to avoid further stressing out my already-unhappy right knee.

    Did I mention that I threw up the lunch I ate at the mall? I guess I have now.

    End of rant.

    I’m struggling with a mystery, my youngest dog, Boomerang Bubba, was missing when I got up this morning and was bringing the dogs out. Missing from inside the basement, of which I went over with a fine tooth comb and high powered flashlight. I heard the dogs barking about 8pm before I locked up for the night,but only for a minute and they do that when my neighbor gets dropped off in the alley between our houses. I haven’t found him anywhere in the basement and now have to wonder if someone came in the back door and snatched him thinking he’s a pit pup. He’s not, he’s a 7 year old beagle-boston terrier mix. TBC.
    I hate to think the Mexican guys taking the vines off my house came back and took him,too. But no one else seems likely, and dog fighting rings are Mexican run around here. It’s terrible to hope the little guy is just dead in a place I haven’t found yet rather than stolen for a possible bait dog.

    @Amir Khalid: This was all entirely suboptimal. I hope things stop turning against you so.

    @Shalimar: Watch the Daily Show clip. One guy said it would be a waste of money but we ought to do it anyways because the name is cool. A couple thought Space Force would do space exploration. The Daily Show reporter pointed out NASA does that, but they felt Trump ought to send his own things because he would tell us the truth about what’s out there (I wish I was joking). Others invoked ISIS getting drones and satellites. Mostly they are in favor of it because Dear Leader says so.

    @satby: it’s awful to not know where your dog is. I went through that with the late lamented Biscuit once, for a week and a half. Fortunately it had a happy ending, and I hope it works that way for you, too.

    @Shalimar: I’m hoping it’s more like Voltron, with a team of space lions that join together when something or other needs saving.

    @Shalimar: I would be delighted if Trump did create a Space Force and all of his supporters joined up. Short of that, meh.
